COSMIC WEATHER:

Tempers flaring big time above us now. I’m just wondering how the heck Mel Gibson got up there?

Huge chunks of sky are also dropping into our yards, landing on our begonias.

Whereas before we only had grass to mow, now we have both grass and clouds.

Plus, clouds are so much harder to see through to cut the lawn. And much more difficult to bag.

Just what will become of our lush green lawns? That’s the million dollar question!

And, how will we know where to spread the fertilizer in the fall if all these clouds are still hanging around?

It’s such a tragedy, too, that so many of the pretty, puffy, cumulus clouds, in what remains of the sky above, have been replaced with gaping black holes.

So unsightly.

Needless to say, life is rough. Isn’t it?

I imagine the next thing to go will probably be gravity.

Or, perhaps Sarah Palin. Maybe, Lady Gaga.

It’s so much easier for the Alien Body Snatchers to grab us now. All they have to do is reach through those giant black holes and pick us up.

All I know is, they better not try and snatch George Clooney away from us!

That would be an impossible void to fill.

Till further notice, continue with the deep breathing exercises and the melodious chanting:

‘Yes we can, yes we can..’

I promise you, we will get through this and the sky can probably be patched up in no time flat with a quick visit to Home Depot.

But, in the meantime, we need to stay banded together in Libra

But far enough away from Saturn, so he doesn’t try to get fresh with us.

We need to stay alert in our fortified hideouts from the Traffic Cops.

Who, due to the Jupiter, Mars and Pluto alignment, are showing up on our doorsteps in record numbers now.

And, painfully, in place of the Prize Patrol.

Issuing us speeding tickets, in advance.

Such zealotry!

But yet another typical byproduct of the ongoing Cardinal T-Cross, now in day 3,444 of the Julian calendar.

“I often think that the night is more alive and more richly colored than the day.” Vincent Van Gogh

In the News:

Prosecutors reportedly dropped an assault case against former Vice President, Al Gore, (b. 3/31/48) over the weekend, stemming from allegations made by a masseuse in 2006 in Portland, Oregon, that Gore had “sexually assaulted her” in his hotel room.

Interestingly, Gore presently has Pluto exactly on his 3 degree Capricorn Moon and his Moon is caught up in the current Cardinal T-Cross, with it being squared by both Jupiter in Aries and Mars in Libra, and also soon both Saturn and Venus in Libra will be squaring it. Squares, too, force issues, so this is probably why this matter has come to a head now. Jupiter is also in Aries which is the sign ruling law enforcement. Mars rules Aries, and deposited in the sign of Libra, can activate legal and court matters.

The Moon in a horoscope represents one’s feelings and emotions, women, home and family life, as well as the public. Pluto also governs “sexual issues,” as co-ruler of Scorpio, the sign of sex. Additionally, Pluto rules death and rebirth.

Recently Gore’s home and family life have also undergone a “death” and “transformation,” of sorts, with his announcement that he and Tipper were getting divorced after decades of marriage. Pluto conjuncting the Moon can often be a disruptive influence for home and family matters and additionally it has proven, in Gore’s case, to also be disruptive for him regarding his public image, which has taken quite a beating, in wake of those assault allegations.

Pluto additionally rules manipulation and control issues and sometimes when we have strong Pluto aspects we meet up with people who try to manipulate us, or try to control us, for their own special gains. Not saying that this necessarily occurred here, with respect to Al Gore’s situation, but rather just speaking in general about how Pluto aspects often play out.
